Don't Like the Spontaneity,

As one of the first and frmest
supporters of Gov. Nichols we
have tried at various times within
the past two years to obtain a
direct avowal from him that he
would allow his name to be used
in connection with the candidacy
for Governor of the State. 1t is
therefore news to us to see it an
nounced in the imes-Democrat
that this very purpose was quite
clearly announced by the General
himself in 1884 We are forced
to take direct issue with the I'D.
on this question, and unhesitat-
ingly assert that his candidacy was
not then announced, but on the
contrary has only lately been de-
termined upon by Gov: Nichols
after the most earnest solicitude
and pressing requests that any
son of Louisiana possibly ever had
urged upon him.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1887-02-19

Isn't it somewhat curious that
the mes-Democrat should make
the mistake of substituting the
word "condescend" in place of
consent" in Col. Hollingsworth's
letter to Gov. Nichols, where that
gentleman says
sYou consecrated yourself to public
duty once; I hope you may consent to
do it again"
And the complication becomes
absolutely funny when the Capt.
tolian-Advocate repeats the error
and follows suit by making another
mistake in substituting rendered
for rendered" where Gov. Mich
oils in his reply says:
SHOULD the nomination for the Gov
ernorship of our State be rendered me by
the Democratic convention would &C
cept it"

An Erroneous Impression.

! Elsewhere we PRINT an extract
from the Amite City Independent
relative to the appointment of
cadets from the various parishes
by the police juries. Under the
law it appears that each parish is
entitled to send one cadet to the
State University for four years,
whose expenses, to the amount of
$3.50 per annum, is to be betrayed
by the parishes. We have yet to
learn of our police jury taking
advantage of this law. There are
numbers of poor but deserving
youths in Grant parish whose par
ents and friends would rejoice to
see them have the advantage of a
thousand dollars worth of school
ing at our State University, and
our police jury should not neglect
to afford them the opportunity
any longer.
Since the above has been put in
type we have investigated the sub
ject, and find that our Amite City
confrere is somewhat mistaken in
reference to the law about bene-
ficiary cadets. Act No. 100 of the
General Assembly of 1885 provides
for the re-establishment of the
beneficiary system, and very ma
terially alters the conditions which
our cotemporary supposes to be in
existence. By it the police juries
of the several parishes, as also the
city council of New Orleans, are
granted the "power and authority
to maintain beneficiary cadets at
said institution" Section 4 of the
act stipulates that the several
parishes and the city council of
New Orleans, for the maintenance
and board of said beneiciaries,
are empowered to appropriate out
of their respective treasures q
sufficient sum to defray the neces-
sary expenses of said cadets. pro-
vided that the expense shall not
exceed $3.50, said sum to be paid
over to the treasurer of the insti-
tuition before the admission Of the
cadet, and it is further specially
provided that under no circum-
stances shall any part of this sum
be paid by the State"
This puts very different phase
upon the matter, and we hazard
the assertion that not two parishes
out of the sixty in the State will
accept any such terms. On the
whole we regard act No. 100 of
1886 as great humbug-a piece
of useless and unnecessary legis-
lation. It processes to re-establish
the beneficiary system, whereas it
literally kills it as dead as door
nail.

ers some Political Pointers.
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, June 1.-The
bad weather to-day seriously interfered
with the Sherman reception at the State
capital, SO far as outdoor demonstrations
were concerned. At 12 O'Clock rain set in
which continued at intervals, making it
necessary to abandon the outdoor demon
STATIONS. Elaborate preparations had been
made in the way of platform and seats in
front of the State House. During a lull of
the storm about thousand persons occu-
pied those seats but were driven to Repre-
sentative Hall by the rain at 2 o'clock. At
this point the committee determined to re-
move the demonstration to the shelter of
the State House and the crowd surged and
pressed for entrance to the assembly
chamber. In short time 1000 persons
crowded into the galleries, capable ordi-
narily of holding 800. and the more favored
to the number of 1900, were admitted to
the floor Of the house.
AS Senator Sherman, accompanied by
Governor Oglesby, Senators Cullom and
Farwell and the State Officers and men,
bers of the managing committee entered
the hall, there was loud and continued ap-
plause.
Senator Sherman was introduced by Gov
ernor Oglesby. Sherman, after paying
glowing tribute to the Illinois statesmen,
Lincoln, Douglas and Logan, gave sketches
of the history of the two great political par
ties since the repeal of the missouri COM
promise, showing the positions of the Re-
publican and Democrats on the questions of
the war, emancipation, reconstruction and
suffrage. Referring to the Democracy in
the Southern States, Sherman said there
was not an intelligent man in the land who
does not know that Cleveland is President
by virtue of crimes against the electoral
franchise, including murder, arson, ballot
box stuffing, forgery and perjury, but for
which Blaine would now be in his place.
Continuing on the subject he said:
"The poison of the success of these meth
DDS has already affected the election in
some of the great cities of the North, espe-
cially in Chicago and Cincinnati, where un-
der the lead of Mackin and Torney, the
criminal classes have adopted some of the
crimes to control the elections. Why should
they not? If crime should be resorted to
| by the white Democrats of the South to
cheat and int'midate the poor negroes in
the South, why should not the white Dem
| ocrats of the North be permitted to resort
to forgery and perjury to peacefully change
| results of elections in the North? Why
discriminate against Mackin and Torney
| by sending them to the penitentiary, while
| sending Democrats of the South by means
of like offenses, to the senate and house
and to represent this great republic in for
eign courts?
| The mission of the Republican party will
never end until every legal voter can cast
one honest vote and no more, and have
| that vote counted.
Speaking on the tariff, Sherman said the
revenues must be reduced, but opposed the
reduction of duties on articles we ourselves
produce, thus bringing our skilled artisans
in competition with foreign labor that will
| inevitably reduce the price of domestic la

of the shepherd class, whose origin can
be traced back a thousand years. as
proved by old tapestries showing the
retreat of Charlemagne through the
mountain defiles. These dogs have
their homes in the wild regions that
girt Navarro to the west; and, being
taken across the frontier and laden
with Spanish laces and tobacco, they
make their return through secret pass
es, and during the dark hours Of the
night, to the great mystitication of the

to scent the officers from afar, and re-
main hidden until the danger is past;
but then, on the other hand. when once
their home is reached, they are the fin
est watch-dogs to be found in the coun-
try. During the Carlist wars some of
the dogs accompanied their masters to
the field, and their service was found
to be very useful in preventing a sur
prise on the outposts. The Germans.

Condition of the Crops,

CHICAGO, May 29.-This week the
Farmers Review will say: Our reports
this week indicate that local rains through
out the Western states have more or less
broken up the drOuth. An improved condi
ton of affairs in relation to the winter
wheat crops is noticeable in Indiana and
Ohio, and while other states have suffered
from the lack of rain it seems probable that
should the present conditions continue the
damage will be less than anticipated. More
rain is generally needed, except in the
Southern states.
Twenty three counties in Illinois report
the average condition of winter wheat at So
per cent. Fourteen Indiana counties report
the average condition of winter wheat at SIS
per cent Eleven Ohio counties report til
average condition above that of last week
The prospects for the crop are much bet
ter.
The condition of winter wheat is placed
at IS per cent. in seven counties of Michi-
gan. Reports from Wisconsin this week
give the condition of winter wheat Is per
cent The condition of winter wheat in
Missouri is promising.
Ten counties i'll Kansas report the condi-
ton of winter wheat at 6S per cent. of the
average. Complaints are numerous of the
drOuth and bugs. Hail killed most of the
crop in Clay county May %.
The condition of spring wheat in Mime
sofa is reported as good. Iowa promises to
have good crop Of spring wheat. Seven
Nebraska counties report the condition of
spring wheat in that state at an average Of
